Face/Off (duplicate)

I'd recently seen John Woo's film Face/Off (Nicholas Cage; John Travolta) and was trying to explain to a friend why I thought that it was more than a soulless action film.

After watching Face/Off, I was stunned by how much depth there is. For starters, I see Face/Offas a representation of walking in someone else's boots, or in thiscase, wearing someone else's face. Both characters, living as the otherperson, learned about the other person. Both characters, we learn, havemade some pretty stupid mistakes in their lives (John Travolta'scharacter is obsessively trying to avenge his son's death, and NicholasCage's character has neglected his family)

There is a wonderful theme about family life that runs throughoutthe film, which I thought was awesome. Even in the midst of anaction film we can glean some truth about the importance of family.
